Software engineering
In this area Vaishnavi has contributed to facilitating the use of object technology by major companies in addition to making interesting research contributions in a number of subareas of software engineering. Between 1992 and 1998, he worked as a founding research director (along with the executive director, Timothy Korson, at COMSOFT, the Consortium for the Management of Emerging Software Technologies; COMSOFT (sponsored by companies such as
Data structures and algorithms
The work of Vaishnavi in this area has mainly focused on computational geometry problems and the creation of efficient new data structures for multidimensional and weighted data. In the computational geometry area, Vaishnavi[34][35] was among early researchers who developed and used techniques for efficiently locating a key in many ordered lists—a problem that frequently arises in computational geometry.[36] In this regard, Mehlhorn and Näher write (on p. 215 of their 1990 article) that several researchers including Vaishnavi and Wood "observed that the naïve strategy of locating the key separately in each list by binary search is far from optimal and that more efficient techniques frequently exist." They further write that Chazelle and Guibas[37] "distilled from these special case solutions a general data structuring technique and called it fractional cascading."
Vaishnavi's work on efficient multidimensional and weighted data structures include creation and analysis of new data structures such as multidimensional height-balanced trees,[38][39] multidimensional balanced binary trees,[40][41] and weighted leaf AVL-trees.[42][43] These data structures generalize known structures for one dimensional data to higher dimensions or weighted data while offering optimal performance.
